Santander has launched a ‘Home Energy Saving Tool’ with the remit of enabling homeowners to review their home’s energy efficiency.
They can then get a tailored action plan to identify what improvements can be made, and how they can help reduce their household bills in the long term.
The tool has been launched in partnership with the Energy Saving Trust (EST), a climate action campaign group.
Mick Taylor, head of green finance, homes, at Santander, said: “We can all feel the change in the air as the autumn breeze starts to bite, coupled with the recent 2% rise in the energy price cap, it’s natural that homeowners are starting to think about ways to keep bills as low as possible, longer term.
“Our new tool quickly highlights where homeowners can invest their time and money to improve the energy efficiency of their property, as well as what the impact of those improvements would be in pounds and pence to their annual energy costs in future.”
It takes about six minutes to enter details into the tool, which uses data like a customer’s postcode to assess their property.
It will then create a plan to help them identify: suggested home improvements and their costs; the estimated annual home energy bill savings; an indication of the property’s current and estimated (after improvements) Energy Performance Certificate rating; and the property’s current and estimated CO2 emissions.
